Rolex Lady Datejust 179173SRJ Watch for Women - Page 8 Questions & Answers
IT IS RUNNING SLOW EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN WOUND.
If your watch is less than 2 years old then they may service it for free, and if it is that new I would take it back to point of purchase for assistance. Even though Rolex's are Chronometers they are not known for their ability to keep near perfect time. If you are losing only 6 seconds a day then you are still over 99% accurate and it does not really get much better than that (that means you may loose a couple mninutes a month. A watch winder that you set your watch in while not wearing can keep it spinning/ winding and therefore may increase accuracy.
If your watch is loosing a lot of time (half an hour a day) or if the watch is more than 5 years old, it likely needs some servicing. Oils can harden and thicken within your watch and this will affect the performance. Rolex recommends servicing your watch every 5 years or so to keep it in peak condition. A usual service entails a cleaning, oiling and regulating; this usually costs from $350 to $700 depending on where you go and if nothing else is wrong with your watch.
But again, if you are only loosing a few minutes a day, then your watch is still in good shape and I would not recommend paying the money to get it to work only a small bit better.
My rolex submariner keeps having the wrong date on
There isn;t any downloadable manuals for Rolex watches, but operation of Rolex is very simple:
1) when you unscrew the crown, it is in winding position,
2) when you pull out the crown to the first click, it is in day and date setting position (depending wich way you turn the crown).
NOTE: to adjust the day or date, previously you have to advance hands forward, passing 12 o'clock (midnight) mark and stop advancing at 4.00 a.m. using the crown in position as described in chapter 3. When done - push the crown fully in, then pull out to the first click and only then adjust the day or date.
3) when you pull the crown further out to the second click, it is in time setting position.
To find the daytime or night time on the watch: pull out crown to the second click and advance watch hands forward till you pass the 12 mark on dial. If the date changes as you pass it - it is the night time (midnight). If the date do not change as you pass it - it is the daytime (noon).
After all settings being done, allways screw the crown back down as it protects the watch from water and moisture.
Never use watch in sauna- it's not designed for that.
Do not forget to rate, please.

I want to adjust the steel bracelet on my new GMT II
You can do it yourself but proper watchmakers screwdriver is needed.
Check the sides of your bracelet and you will see screw ends with grooves. Unscrew them and adjust your bracelet (take the links out). Then screw them back in.

Are accutime watches waterproof
Accutime watches, like many other brands, offer a range of models with different levels of water resistance. However, whether a specific Accutime watch is waterproof depends on its design and specifications.
It's essential to check the user manual or the manufacturer's website for your particular Accutime watch model to determine its water resistance rating. Watches typically have a water resistance rating measured in meters (or ATM), indicating the depth to which they can withstand water pressure without leaking.
Here are some general guidelines regarding water resistance ratings:
1. **Water Resistant (30 meters/3 ATM)**: Watches with this rating can withstand splashes of water or light rain but are not suitable for swimming or diving.
2. **Water Resistant (50 meters/5 ATM)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for swimming, showering, and other water-related activities, but not for diving.
3. **Water Resistant (100 meters/10 ATM)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports but may not be suitable for deep diving.
4. **Water Resistant (200 meters/20 ATM or more)**: Watches with this rating are suitable for recreational scuba diving and other water sports.
It's important to note that water resistance can diminish over time due to wear and tear, aging of seals, or accidental damage. To maintain the water resistance of your watch, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes, chemicals, or high-pressure water, and have it checked by a professional if you notice any signs of water intrusion or damage.
Ultimately, always refer to the specific water resistance rating and guidelines provided by the manufacturer for your Accutime watch to ensure its proper care and use around water.

My C9 champion watch only goes up to year 2020, can I change it?
If your C9 Champion watch only goes up to the year 2020 and does not allow you to set the date beyond that, it may indicate that the watch's internal calendar function has a limited range. Unfortunately, some digital watches have a fixed range for their calendar function and cannot be manually adjusted beyond a certain year.
In this case, if you need to set the date beyond 2020, you may not be able to do so with this particular watch model. However, there are a few things you can try:
1. **Check the Manual**: Refer to the user manual that came with your watch to see if there are any instructions or settings related to adjusting the calendar function. Sometimes, there may be a hidden feature or a specific button combination to extend the calendar range.
2. **Contact Customer Support**: Reach out to C9 Champion customer support or the manufacturer of the watch to inquire about the possibility of adjusting the calendar beyond 2020. They may have insights or instructions that are not included in the user manual.
3. **Consider Professional Assistance**: If you're unable to find a solution on your own, you could take the watch to a professional watch repair shop or jeweler. They may have the expertise to adjust or modify the watch's calendar function, although this could potentially void any warranty on the watch.
If none of these options are successful, you may need to consider using an alternate method for tracking dates beyond 2020, such as a digital calendar app on your smartphone or computer.

Bonaire Evap Cooling - Changed batteries and error keeps flashing up left hand side of time when you push any button
If you've changed the batteries in your Bonaire Evap Cooling unit and you're seeing an error flashing up on the left-hand side of the display when you push any button, it could indicate a few potential issues:
1. **Incorrect Battery Installation**: Double-check that the batteries are installed correctly, with the positive and negative terminals aligned properly according to the markings in the battery compartment. Incorrect battery installation can lead to erratic behavior or display errors.
2. **Low Battery Voltage**: Ensure that the new batteries have sufficient voltage. Sometimes, even fresh batteries can be defective or have low power if they've been stored for a long time. Try replacing them with a different set of new batteries to see if the issue persists.
3. **Resetting the Unit**: Try performing a reset on the unit to clear any temporary glitches or errors. This can usually be done by unplugging the unit from power (or removing the batteries) for a few minutes, then plugging it back in (or reinstalling the batteries).
4. **Faulty Display or Control Panel**: If the error persists after trying the above steps, it's possible that there may be an issue with the display or control panel itself. In this case, you may need to contact Bonaire customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance or to arrange for repairs.
5. **Consult the User Manual**: Refer to the user manual or troubleshooting guide provided with your Bonaire Evap Cooling unit for specific instructions on dealing with error messages or display issues. The manual may contain additional information or troubleshooting steps tailored to your specific model.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's best to reach out to Bonaire customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They can provide expert guidance and help diagnose any underlying issues with your cooling unit.
